Raid on Short Brothers Factory, August 1940
What Kampfgeschwader conducted the raid on the Short Brothers Factory, Belfast, evening of 13/14.8.40?
One source I reviewed listed 15 x He 111's of Kampfgruppe 100, with result of raid being 5 x new Stirling Bombers destroyed. Other sources that I've reviewed mentioned Kgr.100 completing operations to the Dunlop Works (Birmingham) and Nuffield Aeronautical Works (Castle Brommich) during that evening - but no mention of any operation to Belfast. Have seen yet other sources that briefly mention this raid, but without listing the unit that conducted it. Thank you in advance if any information available. markr |
